*Sr. Research & Development Engineer, responsible for development and implementation of soft X-Ray sources used in X-Ray fluorescence, diffraction and imaging industries. Duties include production process refinement, failure analysis and trouble shooting, development of lower cost and/or higher power devices for the desk top and hand held soft X-Ray sources. Developed one of a kind X-ray tube for the Mars 2020 rover. Implemented poka-yoke systems and pursued failure analyses to root causes thereby eliminating the sources. Developed new X-ray tubes by working from the fundamentals of the application requirement, resulting in significant cost reductions in materials and processing.
